Gemme Océane
AOC Pouilly Fumé
A story to savour
This cuvée tells us a story of a precious stone or gem from our vineyard terroir.
Produced on our most prestigious marl hillside, Gemme Océane takes its name from the Kimmeridgian soil characterized by limestone rich in the shells of small oysters and fossilized ammonites, reminders of the time when the sea covered our region… and also of its rarity. Produced only in the best years (2009, 2012, 2017, 2022) and offering a long aging potential.
Vintage 2022
” Round, Floral and Salty “
Grapes harvested at perfect maturity on September 8th. 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Color: a beautiful straw yellow color with green highlights
Nose: An expressive nose of white flowers (acacia, elder), with a touch of iodine, reminiscent of sea salt spray.
Taste: Refreshing taste of vine ripened peach and pink grapefruit, punctuated with notes of elderflower. Finesse and elegance, full-bodied, yet balanced and delicate. A lot of presence and length in the mouth, with a very nice saline finish.
Wine Making
Low yields (32 hl/ha)
Gentle pressing, static settling, alcoholic fermentation at low temperature.
No malolactic fermentation. 7 months of aging on fine lees in stainless steel vats.
Food Pairings
Made for fine dining, this limited edition wine pairs perfectly with noble fish in sauce: salt encrusted sea bass with a citrus sauce, monkfish fricassee, emperor, grenadier…
Tasting Moments
In the lounge at the beginning of the evening, at the restaurant for moments of celebration before a gourmet meal to savor as a couple or with a circle of close friends.
A refined gift for connoisseurs and epicureans.
